Many, many posts

Hi everyone! First of all, sorry! I have been on vacation at Florida ( it was wicked awesome by the way) and haven't been able to post in a while. Though, it may happen again I will warn you.

These next few blogs are going to be about my trip to Florida but; they probably won't be in order from day one to day fourteen.

Enjoy!

Valentines Day!

Hey people, happy Valentines Day! Hope you all had an awesome and special day.

This is what my family did on Valentines Day:

In the morning we did the basics: get up, have breakfast, make my bed etc etc....

After that we didn't do anything SUPER exciting for a while (counting school). Then around 4:30 ish my Mom and I started to make the AWESOME food.

When my Dad got home from his work it was all ready. For the meat there was venison cooked rare which my Dad hunted a while ago. For the vegetables we had cooked red peppers and potatoes that were slowly rasted in the oven. For the lovely dessert there were mini chocolate cakes for each of us; the outside was amazingly cooked and the in side was melted chocolate with butter and sugar! Wow, was it good!

So what did you do for Valentines Day?

Hope you guys are liking my blog!

Meme and Cappucino

Hi everybody, I hope you are all enjoying my blog!

This week was SO exciting but also very sad. So the German Shepherd breeder that sold us Samson and the dog that we had before, Tasha (she passed away in 2007), she sent my Mom an email saying that she has a retired show dog who's a German Shepherd, six years old and her name is Meme. She said she is smart, sweet and cute. When my Mom told me that we were getting her I said "YAY! WE ARE GETTING A NEW DOG YAY I AM SO EXCITED!” Honestly if you knew me you would know what I mean. And everything Mrs. Leanne (the dog breeder) said was true! She is such a darling dog. She doesn't know simple tricks like roll over, lie down and sit (though she is learning that one) but she does know come, which is awesome!

But something happened..... When we were at church and just Meme and Samson were there she knocked Sparrow's (our hamster) cage down and he died of the shock. She didn't really know any better though. She didn't know that she wasn't allowed to and it turns out that she liked to catch mice at Mrs. Leanne's house outside.

Now I will STOP that sad news.

Usually when you lose a loved pet you want to get a new one to calm you down right? (Right). So later we went to Petsmart and saw such cute hamsters and mice. We wanted to get a younger one, four months at the max. One of them was a bit crazy (it was SO funny to watch). One was too old. Five or so were mice. One was a Skinny pig. He was black and brown so he didn't look bad. But in one cage there were three hamsters each around three months. They were all girls. Two of them were black and white and one was golden at the head to the arms and the rest was white with some golden spots. Also she had one black spot on each ear. One of the black and white ones was too quiet. The other black and white one was too energetic and she also was eating my sister’s sweater. And the last one was just right! She was kinda fast but not too much and she wasn't so quiet. So we got her YAY!

We named her Cappucino. We put our new hamster in a new spot that NO dog can reach. While we were driving home with the hamster in a cardboard box she gnawed a big enough hole to get her head through and when a hamster gets her/his head through something they can fit their hole body in! Both Meme and Capuccino are sweet, lovable and CUTE.

I love both of our new pets!

2011

Hi everyone I hope you all had an awesome Christmas and New Year. I honestly can’t wait for 2011. My family and I are going to a couple places this year. One we are going to Florida mostly to go to Disney World! (It’s my first time) But also hope to go to a few other cool places like Discovery Cove (You get to swim with dolphins!) and the Kennedy Space Center. I am REALLY excited to go to those places. My other trip is to P.E.I., it’s a BIG family get together for my Grandparents' anniversary. It’s going to be in a huge building that we rented for a while. Anyways you can probably see that I changed my blog a lot like I put up a slideshow and changed the background so please tell me what you think by commenting and writing what you think.

Hope you all had a good Christmas and New year!

Thanks for reading!

Cooking

There are many ways to describe cooking. You can say cooking is fun, challenging, easy, experimental, it's a chore or it's boring. I think it's fun, sometimes challenging, and very experimental. I can say this because I cook. I cook many things but no, I am not going to list them all because that would be boring for me to type and boring for you to read.

I like to try new things. All of my family does. My Mom tries A LOT of cooking recipes. She goes to a website called "The daring Kitchen" every month that website posts a blog on their website. It's always something thats kind off hard to make like sushi, souffle, baguette, Pate, and apple butter. Something like that.

And all that food I listed is AWESOME. This Christmas, like all of them, we made treats. We made Christmas cookies, ginger cookies, and meringues. They are soooo good. Also last night my Mom had a small party. She and I made alot of stuff like wassail, (it's a hot spice Christmas punch) and canapes ( there like little bit sized squares that has cream cheese and a lot of other stuff).

I am going to make this short and sweet. I love to cook!
